Chapter 488: An Invisible Threat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If they could constantly resurrect, then the defensive power of the spire would be formidable. The worries about whether there were other hidden forces inside the tower dissipated. Resurrection was troublesome sometimes.
However, at this moment, those resurrected half-dragons dared not interfere in the battle between Cletos and the Transcendent Dragon Descendant. The clash between these two top-tier beings was too terrifying.
The Transcendent Dragon Descendant dared not unleash all of his power to kill Cletos because he couldn’t determine the whereabouts of the hidden enemy. Using his power to fight Cletos would expose him to the hidden enemy.
As he watched Cletos’s soul burn, an idea formed in his mind. He could always drag out the battle.
Currently, even though the Transcendent Dragon Descendant was lurking in the shadows, he was in control. Cletos was burning anyway. If he dragged out the fight, his soul would burn out and he would die. By then, the hidden opponent might come out of the shadows.
Without Cletos there, the hidden opponent would definitely reveal themselves.
With a plan in mind, the Transcendent Dragon Descendant slowed down his offense and focused more on defense. He relinquished control over the battlefield.
As the opponent retreated, Cletos pressed forward, wielding his war hammer and unleashing a disruptive energy that stirred heaven and earth. His ferocious posture made even the Transcendent Dragon Descendant feel overwhelmed.
He began to utilize his speed advantage. He moved around and dodged direct attacks while remaining vigilant of his surroundings.
Cletos, in a state of frenzy, became increasingly brutal in his attacks. Each strike could cause the void to collapse and distort space itself. If hit, the damage received was no less than what the Transcendent Dragon Descendant could dish out.
The pressure on the Transcendent Dragon Descendant skyrocketed. Originally, he planned to exhaust Cletos’ soul and let him burn out and die. But as he looked at the soul that hadn’t even burned a fifth of the whole, he felt both shocked and furious.
The opponent had unleashed extraordinary power and was fighting against him! Such a massive attack, and yet the soul power had not been depleted by even one-fifth?!
‘D*mn it! How powerful is this monster’s soul power?’
Even the power contained within his own soul might not surpass the opponent’s!
The natives couldn’t see the opponent’s attribute panel like the Lords and heroes did. So, the Transcendent Dragon Descendant had no idea what kind of monster he was facing.
[Eternal Body: All attributes increased by 300%. All attributes increased by 600% when standing on the ground. All damage received can be recovered by devouring rocks. Immune to poison, curses, instant death skills, and magic.]
This ability was Cletos’ source of confidence, especially in close-range combat. However, the thing that gave him the most power was another skill: Soul Devourer.
[Soul Devourer: Beyond A-class. Able to devour the soul of an enemy to strengthen one’s own soul and increase the storage limit of the power of darkness. Current increase: 150,000.]
Soul Devour was a skill that enhanced one’s own soul by devouring the enemy’s soul power. It endlessly increased Cletos’ potential.
To upgrade his level, Cletos had prepared for two whole months. Su Wan had sent him to guard the plane during this time. He had slaughtered countless enemies.
A few days ago, when Su Wan checked Cletos’ attributes, she was shocked to see the panel empowered by the power of darkness. Cletos’ soul was more than ten times stronger than when he was born in her territory.
The refinement of his soul was even comparable to that of Leona, the Vampire Duke.
The Dark Soul Devourer had the capability and ability to face the fundamental power of the Transcendent Dragon Descendant alone!
More than twenty panes were engaged in battles within the swamp, and the number of creatures killed was almost impossible to count.
The swamp had not yet advanced to level four. Besides needing a massive amount of flesh and soul energy, it also partially devoured souls.
Cletos possessed the same characteristic. If he got to devour souls, he could grow very powerful.
In order to achieve this, Cletos devoted himself to devouring the souls of his enemies. His strength made the Transcendent Dragon Descendant tremble.
His burning soul was like an everlasting beacon.
After ten minutes of battle, cracks appeared on the body of the Transcendent Dragon Descendant. The dragon’s scales were shattered by the war hammer.
As for Cletos, he was also in a pitiful state. His body was cracking and falling apart like porcelain.
But with his feet treading the ground, Cletos devoured the rocks. It healed him and repaired the damage to his body.
Feeling the chaos in his own aura, the Transcendent Dragon Descendant looked at the flickering soul that burned on Cletos. He was envious.
‘How is this creature so powerful?’
He felt even more angry and frustrated. He couldn’t take this anymore!
If this continued, perhaps he wouldn’t even survive until the opponent’s soul burned out. He would die on the spot if the other opponent suddenly appeared!
The hero would be praised, while everyone would laugh at his stupidity.
The gray scales of his body suddenly turned red, and runes condensed on them. He exuded a terrifying aura of destruction.
Even at the risk of being attacked by the hidden enemy, he had to fight with dignity!
His claws swelled and became lustrous. It was razor-sharp and terrifying. The space shattered and revealed an endless void and chaos. But just as he was about to fight, a subtle aura flashed past.
The enraged Transcendent Dragon Descendant trembled. The hidden enemy was making a move!
His heart pounded wildly. He stopped in his tracks. His killing intent disappeared. He just wanted to prepare for the unknown.
His perception suddenly became blurred, and most of the surrounding aura disappeared.
The void on the side ruptured, and a figure with silver hair and silver eyes emerged from the scattered fragments of space!
All attention was drawn to this figure.
At the same time, Cletos felt a sense of death in the face of the uninhibited killing intent of the Transcendent Dragon Descendant..
